Welcome to Babis Kioulos website

Hi there, my name is Charalambos Kioulos, "Babis" for short. I am Greek and I live in Brooklyn (New York) and I have been making hand-crafted Greek bouzouki instruments for the past few years.

I've made several bouzoukis and reconstructed many damage ones too for many local musicians, both in the US and abroad.

I strive to create quality sounding instruments, utilizing high quality materials (woods, inlays etc).

I hope you enjoy my website, which show cases my instruments (thanks to OUSAK), and I look forward to your interest in my instruments, perhaps your next bouzouki will be made by me.

Here are a few photos of me with a couple of Greece's best bouzouki virtuosos, such as Manolis Karantinis and Nikos Tatasopoulos.
